MROVEIHENT IN MUCILAGE-BRUSHES,

To all whom it may cancer-n:

Be it known that I, MARK W. House, of Cleveland,

' in the county of fluyahoga, and State of Ohio, have perspective view.v

The nature of this invention relates to the arrangement of a cap and adjustable brush for mucilage or I like bottles, in such a. manner thatthe brush may be readilyadjusted to dip into the contents of the bottle,

the cap, with its tube, forming a handle by which the brush is used.

In the drawing- A represents a metal cap to be placed on'the top of a bottle, to the upper surface of which is secured the tube 13. This tube serves as a handle for the brush. 1

O is a stem, formed of wire, bent double, as seen in the drawing, and is passed through the tube and cap, to the lower end of which stem is secured the brush D.

The wires forming the stem are sprung apart,-which causes them to remain at any desired elevation in the tube B, by friction, which may thus be readily adjusted I to reach the contents in the bottle.

This invention makes a. convenient andneat arrangement for a brush and cap for mucilage or liquid-glue bottles, being simple in construction, cheap, and dura ble.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure "by Letters Patent, is-

The brush D, in combination with the spring-wire stem 0, or its equivalent, for the purpose shown.

, MARK We HOUSE.
